Overview

"Letters of Intent" will be accepted from potential Local Organizing Committees (LOC) in the Rest of the World. If there are no submissions from groups in RoW, letters from other regions will then be solicited.

If more than one letter of intent is received, the Conference Committee members will vote by each selecting a single letter as their choice. A letter must receive the backing of at least two members to move on to the bid stage.

Selected letters will be invited to prepare a full bid based on the usual RFP process.

A proposal outlining budget, potential sponsors, LOC members, and venue costs will be required even if only one letter is received.

Historically, half to three quarters of delegates come from the hosting country / region. Hence it is very valuable to have links with the regional geospatial industries. How do you propose to engage the regional communities in order to attract delegates and sponsors.

Recent conferences have worked with a professional conference organizer. If you plan to make use of one, please mention them.

Prior regional or local FOSS4G events (or similar) demonstrates an active community and experienced LOC. Such experience is worth mentioning.
